London-based documentary film company Dogwoof has announced that Emmy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actor Emma Corrin will be hosting a special screening of QUEENDOM, with a Q&A set to follow with director Agniia Galdanova, at the ICA on Wednesday, November 29, ahead of the UK cinema release on Friday, December 1. Tickets have just gone on sale here.
QUEENDOM tells the story of Gena Marvin, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, who dresses in otherworldly costumes made from junk and tape, and protests the government on the streets of Moscow.
Born and raised on the harsh streets of Magadan, a frigid outpost of the Soviet gulag, Gena is only 21. She stages radical performances in public that become a new form of art and activism.
By doing that, she wants to change people’s perception of beauty and queerness and bring attention to the harassment of the LGBTQ+ community. The performances – often dark, strange, evocative, and queer at their core – are a manifestation of Gena’s subconscious. But they come at a price.
QUEENDOM special Q&A screening hosted by Emma Corrin with director, Agniia Galdanova at ICA, The Mall, St. James’s, London SW1Y 5AH on Wednesday, November 29. Tickets have just gone on sale here.
